So what's involved in installation? If a machine already had an ethernet port (as iMacs and all other recent Macs do, for instance) would installation be just a simple matter of plugging a cable into the modem-like-thing and then plugging it into the ethernet port? Yeah, that's the hardware part of it once the cable has been split and run. It takes a bit of time for the cable modem to download it's proper setup software (whatever that is/means). And for a PC, the Win95 networking setup is not as I have seen it before. In other words, they null out the DNS and IP address entries, and that info is somehow stored elsewhere (it can be seen with winipcfg). I don't know why they use that setup technique. Does it perhaps have something to do with the fact that a proxy server is used on the @Home network? Randy
